equus - oh that reminds me of a funny story - the neighbor across the street told me they keep their basement door closed as the litter boxes are down there - they cut a small cat hole in the door. when i asked why - she told me her norwegien elk hound likes to go trolling for tootsie rolls (now if you don't know what tootsie rolls are they are a popular candy here in the states - there are miniature ones - little chewy, chocolate logs.) i asked her what she meant - seems her dog like to raid the litterpan shall we say and get herself a treat. talk about EWWWWWWWW!
i guess lots of dogs do this sort of thing?
